16/758467

Inventors:

- Apex NC, US
Alan D. Anderson - Willow Spring NC, US

International Classification:

B25B 13/46

Abstract:

A ratcheting tool is provided. The tool may include a head housing having a cavity, a gear having a plurality of gear teeth, a pawl, and a reversing control member. The pawl may have a plurality of pawl teeth configured to engage with the plurality of gear teeth. The pawl may also be moveable within the cavity into at least one position where at least some of the plurality of pawl teeth engage with at least some of the plurality of gear teeth to prevent rotation of the gear relative to the pawl in a first rotational direction and permit rotation of the gear relative to the pawl in a second rotational direction. The reversing control member configured to interface with the pawl to move the pawl into the at least one position in response to a rotational movement of the reversing control member.
